What are you some kind of NUT????????????
All you have ever done on here is to critisize everyone and upset a lot of decent people and burble a load of rubbish. I would suggest it is you who has a drink problem..

Mr Hughes, there is absolutely nothing unususal in the symptoms described by Capt,Kong as I can attest. I have known many individual cases similar. Your immediate "put down" was quite unnecessary and speaks volumes.

You have just beaten me to it Ivan, I was just going to say, I would not like to sail with an officer who cannot spell GRAMMAR. I would be thinking what else can he not do.?

Mr Hughes. I note you joined this friendly community only two months ago. Should you continue to refer to your fellow members as "dross", I guess your tenure will not be prolonged.
My earlier post stands. Incidentally, we are way off thread. I'm out.
PS. Thanks for the comment Cpt.Kong.

Thanks for that Corrientes,
I am also out. I have better things to do than to read his "Dross".
Cheers
Brian.

We get all manner of replies on this site, some tongue in cheek, some in a corectal manner. We enjoy the banter, we laugh, we cry, but we will not tolerate idiots Captain Huges!!!!!
One thing we do not do on this site is talk in a derogatory manner to other site users. To attack Kong or any other member is not what we are about, and if you do not like the manner in which we talk or speak to each other, or about that we we speak of then you are quite welcome to take your futile loquacious and verbose language to another site, we do not wish to see it here.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Mr Hughes
You have certainly taken response banter to another level, what a sad vitriolic man you appear to be, you must have had a really depressing occurence at sometime in your life to call fellow shipmates "Scum" (dross)because they do not agree with your point of view, you must have been a real joy to sail with.
One can only hope that in person you are a much nicer person than you appear to be in print. From some of your earlier posts you seem to be an intelligent man, it is such a pity you seem to be letting that intelligence go to waste by the tenor of your contributions to this site.
I know the above words are probably wasted on you because you will see nothing but insults to your wounded pride, and as for your inane remark "I will not be called silly by anyone" it speaks volumes.
Alas whilst you expect your reference to "DT's" to be taken as a joke you are unable to take a little ribbing on the word grammer which you say was a typo, I have noticed many typo's in your posts, but was too polite to mention them, assuming they were genuine typo's but on reviewing them I have had to reavaluate my opinion. Also from the construction of some of your sentences and paragraphs it would appear that you were fortunate that English Language and Literature was not part of your much trumpeted "Certificate of Competency", otherwise you may only have been blowing a tin whistle instead of that much used trumpet you seem to carry around with you.
You should also reflect upon in history how many intelligent men have been architects of their own downfall

He is still at it, will he never stop he is continuously insulting people. especially about their position on a ship.
I note that he was once a Fourth Mate with a Masters Certificate. He really must have been good at his job as a fourth mate, the company kept him in that position.
